5(O)n and 6(O)π,n participations by some oxygen containing functional groups in the course of reaction with hypobromous acid have been studied on olefinic models of steroid type (I and II). The ability of these groups to participate has been compared on the basis of their relative reactivity with water (as externally attacking nucleophile) competing with participation. The results of the product analysis show that the ability to react with 5(O)n participation decreases in the order HO > CH3O ≃ CH3OCH2O > CH3CO2 > HCO2 > CH3SO3 ≥ (C2H5O)2PO2 > C6H5CO2 > O2NO ≫ CF3CO2, C2H5OCO2; in the last two functional groups is this ability completely suppressed. The 6(O)π,n participation comes in consideration only for compounds of the type II bearing the groups with the -X=O moiety which are ordered in the following sequence: C2H5OCO2 ≃ CH3CO2 ≥ (C2H5O)2PO2 > HCO2 > C6H5CO2. The remaining functional groups (CF3CO2, O2NO and CH3SO3do not undergo this process. Generally, it is valid that introduction of electron-withdrawing substituents into a participating group impedes or completely suppresses its ability to participate.

Starting from the 5,6-unsaturated compound X, 19-hydroxy-, 19-methoxy and 19-acetoxy derivatives with the double bond in positions 5,6- (XIV-XVI), 4,5- (XXI-XXIII) and 3,4- (XXX, XXXIII, XXXIV) were prepared by stepwise transposition of the 5,6-double bond. The route to 4,5-unsaturated steroids involves hypobromous acid addition (XVI → XVIII) followed by reductive removal of bromine and dehydration (XIX → XXI), Transposition of the 4,5-double bond to the 3,4-position is based on the conversion of the 4,5-olefin into 4β-alcohol (XXIII → XXVII) and pyrolysis of its benzoate (XXVIII → XXX).

Hypobromous acid addition to steroid dienes I-VI proceeds in four steps. The reaction commences by the attack on more reactive endocyclic double bond from the α-side yielding intermediary diaxial bromohydrins XXVIII, XXXIV, XL, XLIV, L and LVI via corresponding α-bromonium ions. The 10β-vinyl group of the bromohydrins then reacts with a second equivalent of the reagent forming transient 19-epimeric bromonium ions. The ions generated from I, II, V and VI are cleaved intramolecularly by the hydroxyl group, in accordance with the Markovnikov rule, giving rise to 19-epimeric dibromo epoxides XXXIa and XXXIIa, XXXVII and XXXVIII, LIIIa and LIVa, LIX and LX. By contrast, the ions generated from III and IV are cleaved in an anti-Markovnikov manner to yield dibromo epoxides XLII, XLVII and XLVIII. Products due to formation of a new C-C bond were not observed. The reaction mechanism and differences in the behaviour of the dienes I-VI are discussed.

Reactions of 19-hydroxy-, methoxy- and acetoxy-5-cholestenes Ia, IIa, IIIa were studied and compared with those previously obtained with analogous 3β-acetoxy-19-substituted 5-cholestenes Ib, IIb, IIIc. A marked difference was found in 19-acetoxy derivatives where the 3-unsubstituted compound IIIa yields exclusively the bromohydrin XVIa as a product of 6(O)π,n participation while the 3β-acetoxy derivative IIIb gives, apart from the analogous bromohydrin XVIb, also products of competing reactions: The epoxide XIIb and the bromohydrin XIIIb.

Reactions of the title compounds (bearing an OH, OCH3 or OCOCH3 group at C(19)) involve 5(O)n, 7(O)π,n-participation by the 19-substituent or attack by an external nucleophile. The 6(O)π,n-participation does not occur. The behavior of 1,2-unsaturated (or epoxidated) compounds has been compared with the earlier described 2,3-unsaturated or epoxidated analogs. The 1,2-type is genarally less prone to participation. The reasons for this behavior are discussed.

A synthesis of the D-norisomorphinan ring system is described. Conversion of the initial synthetic target, trans-1,3,4,9,10,10a-hexahydro-6-methoxy-9-oxo-4a(2H)-phenanthrenecarboxamide (10c) into the D-norisomorphinan (6b) proved possible only after removal of the carboxamide ambident functionality. The successful route proceeds via hypobromous acid addition to trans-1,3,4,10a-tetrahydro-6-methoxy-4a(2H)-phenanthrenemethanamine (21) followed by a facile intramolecular cyclization to the D-norisomorphinan (23).

A thirteen-step synthesis of 3β,5,19-trihydroxy-5β, 14α-card-20(22)-enolide (I, title compound) from 3β-acetoxy-5-pregnen-20-one (V) is described. A characteristic feature of this approach is the introduction of the 5β-hydroxyl group by hypobromous acid addition to the 5,6-unsaturated-19-acetoxy derivative XV which proceeds with 6(O)π n participation of the acetoxy group (XV(r)XVI(r)XVII).

Hypobromous acid addition to the 4,5-unsaturated hydroxy acetate VIII results in formation of the cyclic bromo ether XXIXa as a product of 5(O)n participation. Participation by hydroxy group is thus preferred over 5(O)π,n process by acetoxyl. Under the same conditions the 4,5-unsaturated diacetate IX afforded the diaxial bromohydrin XXXI arising from 4α,5α-bromonium ion with 5(O)π,n participation by the 3β-acetoxyl whereas an alternative 6(O)π,n participation by the 19-acetoxyl is not operative. The 3-epimeric diacetate XV reacts with hypobromous acid in a more complex way: the molecule is attacked by the electrophile from both α- and β-sites to give two diastereoisomeric bromonium ions XXXII and XXXIII. The former is simply cleaved with water as an external nucleophile to afford the diaxial bromohydrin XXXIV. The latter undergoes fission both with 5(O)π,n and 6(O)π,n participation: The first route leads to the trans-bromohydrin XXXVI. In the second pathway the acyloxonium ion XXXVII postulated as an intermediate is further cleaved with 6(O)π,n participation by 19-acetoxyl to give the acyloxonium ion XXXVIII, which is trapped by water to yield an unusual cis-bromohydrin XXXIX. The differences in the reaction course are discussed.
